Marlins Notes: De Aza Claimed, St. Claire Could Return

Lots going on with the Marlins, who certainly aren't waiting for the end of the playoffs to start their retooling.

Alejandro De Aza was claimed off of waivers by the Chicago White Sox, according to Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The Marlins may miss De Aza, still only 25, and who posted an .876 OPS in Triple-A this season. Rodriguez reports that the move leaves Florida with 37 men on their 40-man roster.

Randy St. Claire, who was fired by Washington in June, is in the mix to be Florida's next pitching coach.

MLB.com's Marlins beat reporter Joe Frisaro answers a number of reader questions, from whether Jorge Cantu will be back in 2010 (Frisaro thinks so) to whether Dan Uggla will be traded (Frisaro also thinks so).
